If there were elections tomorrow, fewer people would put the cross on the Radicals than was the case in the parliamentary elections in June 2019.
But the small drop of 1.3 percentage points that the party stands for is so small after several very turbulent weeks that the party probably praises itself happily over the poll that Voxmeter has conducted for Ritzau.
This is the assessment of Kristian Madsen, who is a political commentator for Politiken. He calls the decline small.
Given the situation, they can be quite happy with it. They have avoided the executioner in the first place.
– The leader is gone. He had to be ashamed. They have been arguing for open carpet for two weeks. There have been crisis meetings and leaked text messages. After all these signs of an incipient civil war, they are escaping with a relatively small decline, he says.
In the poll, the party stands to dive 1.3 percentage points, so it would get 7.3 percent of the vote. It is important to include that there is a statistical uncertainty of 1.6 percent, which is why it is not certain that the Radicals will go back at all.
On 7 October, Morten Østergaard had to resign as political leader after poor handling of a case in which he violated a party colleague. Deputy Chairman Sofie Carsten Nielsen was then elected as the new political leader.
But it has not gone smoothly. She has been accused of covering up the fact that the former leader sometimes behaved insultingly towards women. She herself has denied this.
After a crisis meeting on Sunday, Sofie Carsten Nielsen said that she has the full support of the parliamentary group.
– I think they have escaped it graciously, and Sofie Carsten Nielsen is stronger after the meeting than she was the day before, says Kristian Madsen.
In the poll, the Liberal Party is facing the biggest decline. The party dives by 5.1 percentage points in the poll compared to the election result in 2019 and thus ends up with 18.3 percent of the vote.
– It seems as if the party has disappeared a bit. It has not succeeded in getting the party really started and an opposition policy up against Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S), he says.
Due to major cases in other parties in recent times, the crisis in the Liberal Party has slipped into the background, Kristian Madsen assesses.
Chairman Jakob Ellemann-Jensen returns on Monday after a sick leave. He has had surgery for a herniated disc.
Voxmeter’s political poll, conducted from October 12 to 18, is based on telephone interviews with 1,018 representatively selected adults.
